Has anyone noticed that it is very hard to send email from Hotmail to Hanmail. I tried today and it just flat out sent it back. I used my yahoo mail and it went no problem.

I have had serious problems with hotmail going to Korean webservers like hanmail or nate etc.

Anyone else having these types of problems? I don't like using yahoo over hotmail but it seems like I might not have an option.

both hotmail and hanmail suck. Though hanmail sucks even more than hotmail.

Hanmail users get less than 1mb of storage so often I get bounced mails as their mailbox is full. Ask them to make an email with a better provider and I'm told if the provider isn't Korean they won't do it.

Hanmail lets you know if the person you've sent a mail to has checked it or not though, and the date as well. I like it...

The best free e-mail 'service' is 'fastmail'. You should have no problems with them.

My big thing is I think Hotmail and Hanmail have some type of war going on...seriously. The day Hotmail changes it's look, immediately hanmail has to follow.

Hotmail didn't even bother sending my email to a hanmail address I am certain, it came back FAST. It also had trouble sending to empas and nate emails.

So I switch to my yahoo email - fire off an email to a hanmail address and it is almost 24hrs since, and I didn't get any return, couldn't send email crap.

So I am wondering is there some kind of hotmail vs hanmail crap going on or what?

My repeated experience is that hanmail simply refuses hotmail.

Story I got was hotmail cracked down on hanmail over spam & hanmail retaliated.

I've never been able to e-mail a hanmail account through hotmail.

However, I've noticed that with Yahoo, if you just keep sending the message, it'll usually go through on about the third or fourth try. I have no idea why, but it works.
